No. You cannot upgrade the integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics core in that laptop. The Pentium P6100 CPU is relatively weak as well.

The Toshiba Satellite L755-S5271 would be a better option. It has a Core i3-2310M CPU which is more power than the Pentium P6100. It also has the Intel HD 3000 graphics core which is around 2x more powerful than the old GMA 4500MHD; a little more powerful than the desktop Radeon HD 5450.

At $500 it is probably around $60 - $70 more expensive than the Asus, but that small amount of money will give you much better performance. However, the Intel HD 3000 is still considered weak when compared to discrete laptop video cards.

actually jaguar its 200$ more expencive, i coulkd only afford a 300$ laptop.
but i mean i heard that you couyld instal an extra graphics card, not replace the current one, but add a supplimental one to it, and plus,m that asus is the best i could find for the money from a decent brand.
